“The Coastal Pre-Accelerator was awesome! Since working with RAIN, I consistently double my sales goals and I have the confidence to close bigger accounts. I couldn’t have done this without RAIN’s help.”

Lindsey Phillips, Founder of Meant Manufacturing - Florence, Oregon

“We have faced numerous challenges as a startup BioTech company spun out of the University of Oregon, but the RAIN Network has been exceedingly helpful in assisting us to grow in Eugene – from Feritlab, to RAIN Eugene’s accelerator, to getting access to skilled mentors, funders, and space has enabled us to scale much quicker than if forced to do this alone.”

Matt Beaudet, CEO & Founder of Nemametrix - Eugene, Oregon

“I went to a RAIN pub talk where entrepreneurs gave speed pitches, and I thought ‘I’m not alone.’ I didn’t realize there was this community of support for startups. I felt that joining this program was exactly what I needed because it offered a roadmap to success and connections to mentors who had experience with launching products.”

Jesse Dolin, Founder of Stoney River Sinkers - Yachats, Oregon

“RAIN has given me new possibilities for business success. I’ve had the opportunity to be coached and mentored by several accomplished entrepreneurs who have started and sold high growth companies and raised substantial investment capital. Because of RAIN, we have the contacts to expand nationally, and potentially internationally.”

Patricia Immel, Co-founder of Nature Savvy - Florence, Oregon

“They [RAIN] know most of the answers and are great resource for anyone who is just starting out in business.”

“Most new jobs in the United States are created by startups and small businesses. Entrepreneurship is a critical component of the central Oregon coast economy, and Oregon RAIN has cultivated a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem for the region.”

Arnie Roblan, Oregon State Senator, D-Coos Bay
